EVOCATION Announces New Bassist

Swedish death metallers EVOCATION have announced the addition of bassist Gustaf Jorde (RAUBTIER, DEFLESHED) to the group’s ranks.

EVOCATION will release its fourth studio album, “Illusions Of Grandeur”, in Europe on September 24 via Century Media Records. The CD includes “ten tracks of supreme Swedish death metal, a perfect mélange of Stockholm rawness and Gothenburg epics,” according to a press release.

The “Illusions Of Grandeur” title track can now be streamed in the YouTube clip below.

Cover artist Xaay, who previously worked with EVOCATION on the “Apocalyptic” album, has proven to be the best choice for the job, delivering a dark and desolate yet beautiful piece of art for the new album.

“Illusions Of Grandeur” was recorded at IF Studios (IN FLAMES, THE HAUNTED) and Evocation Studios with producer Roberto Laghi (IN FLAMES) and mixed at IF Studios by Laghi. It was mastered at Bohus Sound Studios by Dragan Tanaskovic.

As a very special guest, Johan Hegg of AMON AMARTH laid down vocals on the song “Into Submission”.

“Illusions Of Grandeur” will be released on CD, limited-edition digipak CD (including three studio bonus tracks) and on LP (including a big-size poster of the album artwork).
